WHAT I WORE | Maternity Style – 27 Weeks

There’s still 13 weeks of brewing this baby, if all goes well… but gosh darn if I don’t feel big enough already! I think the rest of me is catching up with my belly, slowly but surely. So I’ve been thinking about wearing black more often to feel a little slimmer. Something I normally don’t give a rat’s tail about. I’ve got to admit, I’m starting to wonder if I can keep up my attempts at stylish maternity wear during this last trimester. What’s a girl to do when she turns into a giant blueberry blackberry? They might have to roll me into the delivery room, Violet Beauregarde style.

You look beautiful Mandi. I love the pop of colour with your yellow hat and red necklace. I agree with you on the Hush Puppies shoes. I swear by them as an on-your-feet-all-day teacher. I do think that a slob-out day every now and then is good for the soul. I’m currently in a baggy t-shirt and shorts with a blanket on the sofa and couldn’t be happier! xx

Today I am wearing a Snoopie tank top and black leggings! haha So don’t worry… I definitely can’t keep up with this dressing up all the time, especially while my belly is expanding. Normally, I just throw on a dress, which is comfy, easy, and fools people into thinking I am so well put together! Now most of my dresses don’t fit. Sigh. Oh well! Someday they’ll fit again, and it will be like they’re new again!

I have been wondering how I will last the next 9 weeks. I had a bit of a breakdown about it the other day, because as much as I know the weight gain is for the baby, it still is a shock to see on the scale. I think I might just forget the scale for the rest of the pregnancy.

Oh my gosh! I had a similar breakdown today, and I’m barely into my third trimester! haha I’m just sick of wearing the same thing all the time, and I’m feeling less pretty as the days go on. I might just hide away for the last month. Sigh.

I am 26 weeks pregnant and am loving your style posts. I pretty much live in dresses and skirts. So far my dresses mostly fit (due to lots of empire waist styles) but I am starting to feel a little frumpy with the choices I have. I have been putting the clothes that don’t fit me away in a box so I don’t see them and feel discouraged. The down side is that my closet is shrinking and sometimes I just don’t want to wear any of it! Thanks for the inspiration! I really like your new blog. I’m a midwestern gal myself. :)

Don’t fret. I outgrew most maternity clothes by 6 months (what the heck?!), but fortunately I didn’t gain too much after that. Also, despite concerns about weight gain, I lost most of the baby weight in the first month (not intentionally, I just had a hungry baby!). Not saying everyone does, just saying you don’t know what will happen, so no point in stressing.
